Deck overview

This Dimir control deck is commanded by Garland, Royal Kidnapper, turning opponents' resources into your primary win condition. The strategy introduces the Monarch mechanic and leverages Garland's triggered ability to seize opposing creatures whenever an opponent claims the crown. A suite of recurring goad enchantments, such as Ghoulish Impetus and Coercive Impetus, forces opponents to attack one another, continually cycling the Monarch title and triggering fresh creature steals. The deck reinforces this dynamic with defensive taxes like Propaganda and asymmetric disruption from Dauthi Voidwalker and Notion Thief. In the late game, high-impact spells including Breach the Multiverse, Sepulchral Primordial, and Rise of the Dark Realms assemble a massive army of stolen threats, each buffed with +2/+2 and protected from sacrifice effects. Garland wins by grinding down opposing life totals and finishing the table through overwhelming combat swings.
